Episode Description
Ryen and the crew continue live from the NBA Combine in Chicago! He opens with the Spurs taking a 3–2 lead over the Wolves and why Wemby is the most fun player to watch in the NBA. Then, he chats with Wizards president Michael Winger about what it was like being in the lottery room when Washington landed the No. 1 pick, how many guys are really in the mix to go first overall, and how that player would fit alongside Trae Young and Anthony Davis. Next, he talks with former Tennessee star and future lottery pick Nate Ament about the draft process, how close he came to returning to school, and some funny Rick Barnes stories. Finally, Kyle and Ceruti join for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including hostility with a brother-in-law and whether a guy is too loose with his spending.
